LONDON: Taliban leader Mullah Mohammed Omar warned Thursday of a "big" plan to destroy the United States which could happen within a short period of time, according to an interview on BBC radio.
In the interview, conducted in Pashto for BBC World Service radio, he also refused any cooperation with the formation of a new broad-based government in Kabul. "The current situation of Afghanistan is related to a big cause -- that is the destruction of America," he added.
"The plan is going ahead and God willing it is being implemented, but it is a huge task beyond the will and comprehension of human beings. "If God's help is with us this will happen within a short period of time." "Keep in mind this prediction." He said the Taliban preferred death to taking part in what would be an evil government, saying the struggle for a broad-based regime had been going on for 20 years and nothing had come of it.
Asked about sweeping gains by opposition forces, which have seen them take the Afghan capital Kabul and a swathe of the north of the country, he said the Taliban still held their southern stronghold of Kandahar. He also said it was unimportant how many provinces fell, as territory lost could be regained. - AFP
HOW MUCH of the breadth and depth of available documents on the web and otherwise have you examined on such issues? 1-10; 11-25; 26-50; 51-150; 151-250; 251-500; 500-1,000; 1,001-2,500; 2,501-5,000; 10,000?
HOW MANY APPROXIMATELY?
How much diversity did you notice in the tableu?
How many 100's of hours have you spent as a reference librarian filtering out significant bits of data from masses of information?
What kinds of criteria have you developed for considering data tentatively valid?
Or do your biases substitute for all the above leaving you foot-loose and fancy free?
"Keep in mind this prediction."
Oh great and powerful SWAMI, Mullah Mohammed Omar, the mighty High Potentate and Grand Mucky Muck of the Taliban, keep in mind this prediction . . . if any more American civilians are slaughtered by your fanatical and suicidal slaves . . . your Mecca will become vaporized history, then the Temple on the Mount and on and on . . . may your rotting carcass be forever wrapped in pig sh*t.

Well, well. Save our troops and the American taxpayers the trouble of paying for a lawyer
to defend you in a military tribunal when you get the death penalty. Smart feller, I reckon.
And they didn't have chemical and bio weapons. Personally, I am taking these threats seriously. I think they have the weapons, and they have more than enough of their agents in this country to get the job done.
You are correct.

By the looks of rejoicing in the streets after the Taliban fled Kabul the other day, I'd say the people there would prefer another 20 years of attempts at a broad-based regime than to live under anything the Taliban has to offer.
Such behavior is otherwise known as barking at the moon.
Not if your all dead.
Any kind of nuclear or radiological attack by these murderers, would be the cause of us unleashing more misery on them and their friends in order to defend and get rid of those that attack us.
The world is changing in front of our eyes and attacking the U.S. in such a manner would bring about more change in their world than they'd want to speculate about.
They don't understand the American public or even have a clue what we as a nation are all about. The wild west is still alive in this country and there's a certain cowboy way of handling these type of folks.
It's called opening a can of "whup-a$$". They may kill a bunch of us, but those remaining will make sure they aren't around long to celebrate for long.
Freedom isn't free as the saying goes. But they'll pay a bigger price and their cause will die with them.
